Set sail on Western Australia's tranquil waterways.
Yachting is a popular pastime on the clean, pristine banks of the Swan River, where the gentle water and gutsy sea breezes create ideal conditions.
Hire a 4.5 metre catamaran on the glorious South Perth foreshore, where you can feast your eyes on a million-dollar view of the city skyline as a fresh breeze whisks you along the river.
Yacht clubs dot the shoreline from Perth to Fremantle - some run twilight sailing competitions during summer. Get a group together and enjoy an evening a friendly rivalry on the water.
For something a little different, join the crew aboard the historic Leeuwin 2.
Enjoy a majestic sail off the seas of Fremantle in Perth's very own 55 metre tall ship, complete with a three-mast barquentine and over 810 square metres of sail.
Take the helm, set the sails, climb the mast and explore the coast and islands - it's an adventure of a lifetime.
A series of day, afternoon and twilight sails are available on this grand dame.
Head north to Broome, where you can explore untamed islands, collect oysters on deserted beaches, croc-spot and take a dip in a cascading waterfall on a luxury Kimberley cruise.
There are a number of lavish sailing boats trawling this stunning coastline during the season from April to September.
Or south of the State, set sail on a private charter, where you can hire a yacht, learn the ropes or simply kick back and enjoy a skippered sail.
Seafaring lovers can embark on a self-sail holiday around one of the safest and most picturesque cruising grounds in WA - Geographe Bay.
Marvel at the white sandy beaches, cheeky dolphins and world-class snorkeling en route.
Learn-to-sail programs are available for beginners through to potential yacht-masters, and are fully accredited.
